INTRODUCTION

PREPARATION FOR DEATH

Sometimes when a person’s death is anticipated, it may

beneficial for both the person who is dying and their loved

ones to talk their thoughts and feelings. It might be a

conversation about their life and death. It can provide an

opportunity to talk of past, present and future.

In particular, the things that have been, and are important for

them. Things such talking over memories, experiences and

the things that mattered in their lives. A chance to express

love, heal old wounds, and to make plans for the future for

those people who remain. We also understand that, for some

people and their families, just being together without talking

is right for them.

In the time leading to a death, families and significant others

are encouraged to spend as much time as they wish with

their dying relative or friend. Cooinda staff will be able to

support you and answer any questions and concerns you may

have at this time.
